The Tines For society thls effect on the
behavior of the living coHireres OF the ex-
Terminated murdsrers lie the supreme con-
siderGtaon. The condition. OF the existence
OF human society is that the wicked shall
perish. ElSAer the murderer must BE ex-
terminated or society must cease 10 exist.
Either the muIderous Propaganda called
social snarchism that hss invaded this re

rxterminated, or organized society will ais
appear. THIS is the alternative necessity
that conffonts US. There is no middle
term. Either social snarchism must ole or
this American republic must die.
The Inter Ocean: Even upon those alien
irreconcilahles, who are the spawners and
hstchers OF sediiion in this country. the
slowly reached climax of yesterday cannot
be without good effect. The stepof justice
was not accelerated by fear. There was no
hurry TO make all awful example no effort

extent of anarchistic conspirscies or the
number Of aparchistic votaries.

The Tribune: If there be one motive of
this long and thrilling drama more con-
splcuous tDan another, III IL conveys q
warning TO the comrades of these nisguid-
ed men more solemn and inevitable than
another, it is the absolute certainty that
those who seek TO overthrow American
law and social order by conspiriRg force
and violence will only rush headlong TO
their own destruction. Social wrongs. If
there be any, can only be righted at the
bailot-box and by peaceable agencies. Those
who draw the sword against peace and la W
in this free country will perish by the
sword. The supporters OF the laws Of this
country are amply strong for their vindi-
